The chilling reactions were due to (1) general objections to the functionality of clone_with_pids() itself, (2) new procfiles, the way alloc_pid() was being extended (i.e. that was solved by Suka as well as (1)) and especially (3) using a generic, multiplexed 'next_id' file. I don't think we can extrapolate from those objections to this patchset being objectionable. > 2. What do you expect to gain by splitting the work into two separate > system calls ? Two very simple syscalls which are both trivially correct and trivial for userspace to use. -serge _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
